Join us in supporting Octacan, Presbyterian Support Otago's major winter food drive!
This year, Octacan will be held on Thursday, June 20, 2024, coinciding with Matariki, the Mฤori New Year, which marks the traditional harvest season.
Your donations help re-stock Dunedin's busiest foodbank, supporting local families grappling with hardship. The local Family Works team provides tailored support, including food parcels, social work, financial mentoring, emergency housing, and winter clothing.
Matariki symbolises our connection to food resources, and this year Family Works will be arranging donated cans into the Matariki star cluster, each star representing a different food group.
Getting involved is easy! If you are coming into the Marks & Worth Office between now and 20th June (or are in the area!), you can drop your cans into our reception and the team will deliver your donation along with the teams donations on Thursday 20th June, or you can make a cash donation by clicking the below link. https://psotago.org.nz/octacan/ -form1
